PEORIA — A man was shot in the neck outside of a South Peoria liquor store Wednesday evening, but his wound does not appear life-threatening, police said.

The victim was shot outside the front door of Griswold Liquors, at the corner of Griswold and Grinnell streets, shortly after 7 p.m. He was transported to OSF Saint Francis Medical Center by a private vehicle and was listed in stable condition Wednesday night, according to police.

Authorities were reviewing the video recordings of the store’s security camera and interviewing witnesses to gather a description of the suspect. The man was shot after an argument, but no motive had been established Wednesday night, police said.
